  1. The Name of Coolmore

    Share Share Post
    William of Orange when giving away the lands of Coolmore to an English planter said "I present you with the lands of the "Big turn". It came to be translated into Irish and called "Coolmore". This it is said, is how Coolmore got its name, as the river "Owenabuee" turns sharply there.
